Chapter 85 No one else is allowed to cut in line

What is Aquaman?

One must be pretty, eloquent, able to make people happy, unfaithful and fickle, but absolutely capable... Moreover, becoming a true Aquaman is not an easy task.

If a proud professional woman like Chen Xi wants to win Lingyi's heart, she must be patient and not act too hastily. This is a process from quantitative change to qualitative change.

Of course, we cannot rule out unexpected situations that make things simpler and faster, but such accidents are rare.

"Have you recruited all the staff for the studio? Have you hired any assistants?"

Gao Dongxu looked at Chen Xi's pretty face with a smile, admiring her figure and beautiful legs generously.

Chen Xi was helpless about Gao Dongxu's behavior. However, she also realized that although Gao Dongxu was dishonest and spoke nonsense, he would not do anything inappropriate.

Besides, the fact that she dares to dress like this means that she is showing off her beauty and doesn't care about men seeing her.

Although Gao Dongxu felt a little flustered and hot when he looked at her, he was also very proud and pleased in his heart.

This is a recognition of her beauty and charm!

"We've recruited everyone. The studio's address is... Come and have a look when you have time. I've reserved an office for you." Chen Xi rolled her eyes coquettishly and said lightly.

"Well, let's find a time someday. I can't do it right now. I have a lot of things to deal with."

"Well, who came with you?" Chen Xi asked curiously.

"My bodyguard, the super soldier king." Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

Chen Xi frowned slightly, looked at Gao Dongxu and asked, "Who are you? As a partner, I know too little about you. However, you seem to know a lot about my situation."

"I'm just an antique dealer with some money. In addition to collecting and selling antiques, I also invest some money. My assets are not much, just a few hundred million. My parents died in a car accident two years ago. I have a few relatives who care about me very much, that's all... By the way, I'm unmarried." Gao Dongxu said calmly.

"Ah?" Hearing that both her parents were dead, Chen Xi couldn't help but be moved. She reached out and covered her red lips that had screamed out in shock. Looking at Gao Dongxu's beautiful eyes, which were filled with tenderness and sympathy, she said softly, "I'm sorry, I..."

"It's nothing, it's all in the past. People should always look forward. Living in pain all the time will only waste your life and miss the beautiful scenery on the road of life." Gao Dongxu said with a relieved look and a smile.

"Yeah." Looking at the optimistic Gao Dongxu, Chen Xi couldn't help but hum and smile. At this moment, her impression of Gao Dongxu was completely reversed.

A man who has suffered a major change, lost his parents, endured pain and torture, and suffered a huge blow, although he seems to be relieved, it may not be true. Maybe it is just a cover-up, like her, using a cold shell to protect his fragile heart.

At this moment, Chen Xi regarded Gao Dongxu as the same kind of person as her. Unconsciously, she no longer felt defensive or repulsive towards Gao Dongxu, but instead felt sympathy and closeness.

Seeing Chen Xi's softening gaze, Gao Dongxu chuckled in his heart. The stronger a woman is, the more likely her maternal instinct is to overflow.

Women with overflowing maternal instincts are most likely to fall into the trap of scumbag men.

"If you have nothing else, let's have lunch together." Gao Dongxu invited with a smile.

"Not today. I have an appointment with a client soon and need to rush back to the studio." Chen Xi shook his head and said without being subtle or making excuses. Instead, he spoke the truth directly.

"Are you starting to make money so soon?" Gao Dongxu joked with a smile.

"Of course." Chen Xi said with a smug smile, looking at Gao Dongxu with a slightly raised eyebrow. "You invested in me because you value my ability and reputation."

"Haha, that's true. But the more important point is that you are a beauty." Gao Dongxu continued to tease Chen Xi with a playful smile.

Chen Xi's pretty face flushed slightly, and she gave Gao Dongxu a shy and coquettish look. However, this time she didn't get angry. Instead, she scolded him, "Can you please speak properly? Don't be so frivolous, okay?"

"I'm not being frivolous. I'm telling the truth. If you weren't a beauty, no matter how talented or famous you were, I wouldn't necessarily invest." Gao Dongxu said with a burning gaze at Chen Xi, who was a little shy, avoiding her gaze, and a little flustered.

"You, you want to pursue me?" Chen Xi's pretty face flushed with embarrassment. After hesitating for a moment in panic, she looked at Gao Dongxu with sparkling eyes. She mustered up her courage and asked shyly.

"Yes, I'm going to spend one million to hold you first, and then take advantage of the situation. How about it, isn't it a good plan?" Gao Dongxu admitted shamelessly.

Hearing Gao Dongxu's admission, Chen Xi felt a mixture of joy and panic. Her heartbeat was so fast that she found it difficult to breathe. Looking at the smiling Gao Dongxu, she said in a trembling voice, "I don't want to fall in love for the time being. My career is my top priority..."

"It's okay, I can wait. Whenever you want to fall in love, I will be there immediately—" Gao Dongxu raised his eyebrows and teased jokingly.

"Bah..." Hearing the word "shanggan", Chen Xi's pretty face flushed red, her eyes widened in shame and anger, and she spat softly with a coquettish look, "Rogue..."

"Haha, we agreed that I made the reservation first and no one else can be given the chance to cut in line... Hey, why did you kick me again..." Gao Dongxu continued to talk nonsense, but before he could finish, Chen Xi, who was extremely embarrassed and angry, kicked him on the shin bone with the tip of his shoe. He immediately showed a grin and accused Chen Xi of playing the victim.

Chen Xi blushed, her lips curled up, and she said in a somewhat arrogant and coquettish tone: "Humph, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll kick you——"

Chen Xi felt very strange at this moment. Although she couldn't stand Gao Dongxu's verbal teasing, she wanted to listen to it. After listening to it, she felt shy and happy at the same time, and her heart was itchy.

"Okay, I'm done with the jokes. I'm rushing back to the studio. If you need anything, call me."

Suddenly, they fell into an ambiguous and speechless state of staring at each other. Chen Xi's pretty face blushed with shame, and her beautiful eyes moved away in panic. After raising her wrist to check the time, she looked anxious and ran downstairs quickly like a frightened deer.

Gao Dongxu laughed and followed him downstairs. Under the ambiguous gazes of everyone, Chen Xi suppressed the heat on her pretty face, quickly arranged the work to Yang Guang, who had a complicated look in his eyes, and walked out in a hurry.

Gao Dongxu quickly caught up, stood at the door and said to Chen Xi with a smile: "Don't forget, no cutting in line—"

Chen Xi stumbled, his face flushed with shame and anger. He turned around and glared at Gao Dongxu fiercely, gnashing his teeth and whispering, "Are you done yet?"

"Haha, I just want to remind you, I don't mean anything else." Gao Dongxu said with a wicked smile.

"Hmph—" Chen Xi snorted again in embarrassment, turned around and walked away quickly. However, as she walked, the embarrassment on her face turned into a shy smile, and she murmured, "You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth..."

Gao Dongxu turned back to the store and said to Yang Guang with a smile, "Manager Yang, how long will it take to complete the renovation?"

"Three days. You can arrange to open the business in three days. We will use only formaldehyde-free and environmentally friendly materials." Yang Guang replied with a smile.

"Okay, then I'll trouble you all. I'll come for inspection in three days." Gao Dongxu said with a smile, and left with Leng Feng.

"What do you want to eat for lunch?"

In Panjiayuan Market, Gao Dongxu asked while strolling with Leng Feng.

"whatever."

"Okay, let's have Laojingcheng hot pot for lunch today, and then I'll take you to eat roast duck tomorrow. We can try Bianyifang's steamed oven roast duck and Quanjude's hanging oven roast duck." Gao Dongxu decided with a smile.

"it is good."

The two drove straight to Donglaishun.

"Drink?"

In the Donglaishun store, Gao Dongxu looked at Leng Feng and asked with a smile.

"Forget it, I have to drive soon." Leng Feng refused.

"Okay, let's drink it in the evening. We have some imported steaks at home. Let's barbecue and drink in the yard in the evening." Gao Dongxu said with a smile.

"it is good."

After eating and drinking, the two drove back to Dijingyuan.

"Wait for me, I'll be back soon--" In the living room, Gao Dongxu said to Leng Feng with a mysterious smile.

"Yeah." Leng Feng nodded.

About five minutes later, Leng Feng saw Gao Dongxu coming back with two sets of fighting protective gear and boxing gloves, and his eyes lit up.

"Put it on and let's go to the yard to exercise." Gao Dongxu said with a smile as he threw a set of red protective gear to Leng Feng.

"Brother Gao, are you sure?" Leng Feng asked with a slightly frown.

"Haha, don't underestimate me. In order to study abroad, I specially learned Sanda and also learned Bajiquan from a master. Back then, when I was in the UK, it was very easy for me to beat four or five foreigners..." Gao Dongxu said with a smile as he put on protective gear.

"Okay, let's try it--" Leng Feng didn't act pretentiously. He nodded and started to put on protective gear.
